Skip the sandwich and turn your Thanksgiving extras into one of these original dishes from chefs Edward Lee, Seamus Mullen, Naomi Pomeroy, Chris Shepherd, and Jason Vincentby Lauren Salkeld

The idea behind chef Edward Lee's Turkey Ramen was to create a dish with completely different flavors than those of the original holiday feast. Also, Lee points out, "it's great hangover food and usually the day after Thanksgiving, you might be feeling a little wobbly." The recipe is a perfect example of Lee's signature blend of Southern and Asian flavors, and features an unexpected umami-building garnish of freshly grated Parmesan. If you want to try a slightly different twist, Lee suggests adding pork belly, steamed clams, or nori flakes.
